The solution for the temperature and nanoparticle concentration depends on six parameters, viz., thermal radiation parameter R , Prandtl number Pr, Lewis number Le, Brownian motion Nb, and the thermophoresis parameter Nt. Similarity transformation is used to convert the governing nonlinear...

... 16 07 2013 We analytically studied the onset of convection, induced by internal heating, such as that produced by microwave heating or chemical reaction, in a horizontal layer of a nanofluid subject to Brownian motion and thermophoresis. This is a fundamentally different situation from...

... concentration is kept constant. A power-law model is used for non-Newtonian fluids, whereas Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are incorporated in the nanofluid model. A similarity transformation is used to reduce mass, momentum, thermal energy, and nanoparticles concentration equations into nonlinear...

To do this, the thermophysical properties of nanofluids will be considered as given functions of the temperature and nanoparticle volumetric...

...D. A. Nield; A. V. Kuznetsov The onset of convection in a horizontal layer of a nanofluid is studied analytically. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis, and allows for local thermal nonequilibrium (LTNE) between the particle and fluid...

... of this assumption, we have considered seven slip mechanisms that can produce a relative velocity between the nanoparticles and the base fluid. These are inertia, Brownian diffusion, thermophoresis, diffusiophoresis, Magnus effect, fluid drainage, and gravity. We concluded that, of these seven, only Brownian...
